I resisted buying Chinese knives for years. There aren’t many American knife companies putting out product these days that an old man like me can afford. I have a few in the collection, a few Rough Ryders mostly. I really like the QSP Canary that I bought a few months ago. It is so useful. I, too, have to carry a LOT of knives on me at any given time. It is a disease that I happily enjoy and most definitely do not suffer from. Good luck on your experiment and testing with the new knife. 👍

I carry a Screwpop utility knife with a Lennox blade on my keychain and a Spyderco in a wet formed pancake sheath I made on my belt. If someone does not understand, they have a bigger problem than me. 😀

I also wanted to comment on the knife counter attendant as well. Very informed and helpful with the stock. Sorry to say, from New Jersey, and in most of the Wallmarts i go in, half the time I can’t find a person in the department, so trying to make any knife purchases, usually start with me trying to get a body over with a key, and by then, you are lucky to get what you came for, let alone have them show you other ones you may have your eye on. 😢

I don't own the Swiss Tech but its nice. I carry a few knives on me every day. I wasn't in the service but I was a Boy Scout and our moto was Be Prepared. Nothing wrong with carrying lots of knives. Thank you for your service. Thanks for another great video. God Bless.

Knife Doc…first off, I thank you for your service. Secondly, i used to be wary of made in China knives. Now I know, alot of American companies Gerber, Kershaw, maybe even SOG, are assembled in the US, but parts made in China, or fully made in China, etc. Depending on who or how they are made, Chinese knives can be very good. Harbor Freight’s Knives finally post on the packages what type of steel is being used. When it’s made in China, with no steel listing (also known as “Chinese-ium” steels lol)…it can be a crap shoot. Also, there’s nothing wrong having a few on your person, i usually have a minimum of 3 on myself as well. Thank you for your channel, i am now subscribed and looking forward to more videos. May you and your family have a Happy New Year.

I usually use moderns as work knives and don't collect them so they are all Chinese made knives. I then got a Real Steel Luna and really liked it. Real Steels are usually well designed and have a high QC. Id get that Swisstech SD in a heartbeat because they get lost and damaged frequently. The only SD i have currently is a Wenger and that's not going on a keychain. Ill be interested to see what you think of your Swisstech.

I will buy Chinese knives and here is why. I feel no remorse for American companies because if they didn,t have the competition we would be forced to buy their crap. Case in point, Winchester was making great guns, mod.12, mod. 97, mod. 70 and then in 1960's they decide to change and started making crap no one wanted. General Motors went to cheap X body styles. They started making better cars because the Japanese were far better. I remember when Japan was recovering and they made transistor radios and cheap trinkets. We are run by banks and financiers who don't give a shit about us and I don't give a shit about them. Tidbit, we can build 1 ship a year, the Chinese can build 4 a month.
